Suboptimal is probably wrong word, it would preclude Fedora 11 running on
G4. I guess we can keep -march for -m32 powerpc unchanged then, -mtune
will be still power6. We can default to -march=power4 for -m32 for RHEL
only (already RHEL5 has power4 built shared glibc libraries).

Yes, I want a mass rebuild with gcc 4.4 for Fedora 11, and new gcc can land
into dist-f11 during this week.

I know it is a pain, on the other hand it would really improve Fedora 11.
